With Sympathy

Good Morning everyone.  I hope you all had a good weekend. 

Today is the occasion we don't like to make for, a sympathy card made for a friend.  More of a CAS design in a soft colour pallet of grey and lilacs.

A6 Cardbase made from white linen cardstock.   I die cut the star circle die from the top of the card front and die cut a white frame to fit around the outside and a small circle to fit in the middle of the star wreath.  On the small circle is stamped a couple of feathers in grey ink added another couple to the card front.  I attached the frame and small circle with foam tape.

I picked a lilac/pale blue patterned paper which actually has the cosmos & stars printed on it and ideal for my insert to show through the stars.  

I stamped the sentiment again in grey and cut to a strip and mounted onto a larger strip cut from the paper i used for the insert to tie it together.  Grey enamel dots to finish. 

Just showing it side on with the insert

Just a close up of the focal point.  The feather stamps came from a pink ink set and are small and fitted perfectly.

Star circle die (brand unknown)

Clearly besotted sentiment stamp

Archival ink - watering can
